In 2023, the import of frozen boneless bovine cuts to China stood at approximately 1.073 billion kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady year-on-year growth in import volume, with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 4.48%. This trend indicates a consistent increase in demand for these products in China, driven by factors such as rising consumption, changing dietary preferences, and a growing middle class.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in China's domestic beef production capabilities, which could impact import needs.
Changes in trade policies or agreements that may affect import routes or volumes.
The impact of environmental and sustainability considerations on global beef trade dynamics.
